Portret van Jolly in La jolie parfumeuse before 1874

This is a photographic portrait of the actor Jolly, in costume, likely for a performance of the play *La Jolie Parfumeuse*. Created by Hector de Saedeler before 1874, it is a small, intimate image, measuring only 127mm high by 89mm wide. The subject is centered within a rectangular frame, surrounded by elaborate ornamental designs featuring angels and floral motifs, common decorative elements of the period. The portrait would have been intended to be a publicity still, capturing the actor in character.
